2164-5. EyeSight
WARNING
●If your vehicle is trapped on a
railroad crossing and you are
trying to escape by driving
through the crossing gate, the
stereo camera may recognize
the crossing gate as an obstacle
and Pre-Collision Throttle Man-
agement system may activate.
In this case, remain calm and
either continue to depress the
accelerator pedal or turn off the
Pre-Collision Throttle Manage-
ment system. (
P.218)
Pre-Collision Throttle Manage-
ment may not activate depending
on the following conditions:
●The distance between your
vehicle and the obstacle, speed
difference, and horizontal offset
●Recognition status of the stereo
camera
In particular, the function may not
activate in the following cases:
• Bad weather (for example heavy rain, a blizzard or thick
fog)
• Visibility is poor due to sand or smoke in the air.
• Light is poor in the evening, early morning, or at night.
• In a dark area (indoor parking area, etc.)
• There is an obstacle outside the area illuminated by the head-
lights.
• Strong light is coming from the front (for example sunlight at
sunrise or sunset headlight
beams, etc.).
• The windshield has become fogged, scratched or smeared,
or snow, dirt, dust or frost has
adhered to it, or it is otherwise
affected. These will reduce the
stereo camera’s field of view.
Also, light is reflecting off the
dirt, etc.
• Fluid has not been fully wiped off the windshield during or after
use of the window washer.
• Obstacles cannot be correctly recognized due to water drop-
lets from rain or the washer, or
the wiper blades obstructing the
stereo camera’s field of view.
• The stereo came ra’s field of
view is obstructed.
• With low obstacles (low wall, crash barrier, low vehicle, etc.)
• The size and height of an obsta- cle is smaller than the limita-
tions of the stereo camera’s
recognition capability. (Small
animals, children, pedestrians
who are sitting or lying down,
etc.)
• The rear portion nearest your vehicle is too small or too close
(such as a trailer or oncoming
vehicle). The system may not
recognize the part of that vehi-
cle which is closest to you.
• There is a fence or wall, etc., with a uniform pattern (striped
pattern, brick, etc.) or with no
pattern in front.

●On a road with extremely narrow
lanes, the system may detect
vehicles driving in a lane next to
the neighboring lane.
While the BSD/RCTA is active,
the following item(s) will operate
to alert the driver:
The BSD/RCTA approach
indicator (when there are
vehicles in the neighboring
lanes).
The BSD/RCTA approach
indicator and warning buzzer
(when a vehicle is approach-
ing from the left or right side
while your vehicle is revers-

■BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator
It is mounted on each side of the
outside mirrors.
The indicator will illuminate
when a vehicle approaching
from behind is detected.
The indicator will flash to warn
the driver of dangers under the
following conditions.

●You may have difficulty seeing the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator
under the following conditions.
• When sunlight shi nes directly on it
• When the headlight beams from a vehicle traveling behind shines
directly on it
●While the illumination brightness
control dial is in the fully upward
position, even if the headlights are
turned on, the brightness of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator will
not be reduced. For details about
the illumination bri ghtness control
dial, refer to P.91.

Use fluids that are appropriate
to the prevailing outside tem-
peratures.
• Engine oil
• Engine coolant
• Washer fluid
Have a service technician
inspect the condition of the
battery.
Have the vehicle fitted with
four snow tires.
Make sure to install 4 tires that are
of the specified size, and that all 4
tires are the sa me size, same
maker, same brand and tread pat-
tern.
Perform the following according
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a
window or move a wiper that
is frozen. Pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt
the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system
fan, remove any snow that
has accumulated on the air
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof,
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary
preparations and inspec-
tions before driving the
vehicle in winter. Always
drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the pre-
vailing weather conditions.
Preparation for winter
WARNING
■Driving with snow tires
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so m ay result in a
loss of vehicle control and cause
death or serious injury.
●Use tires of the specified size,
and that are the same size,
same maker, same brand and
tread pattern.
●Maintain the recommended
level of air pressure.
●Do not drive in excess of 75
mph (120 km/h), regardless of
the type of snow tires being
used.
●Use snow tires on all, not just
some wheels.
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow
tires
Request repairs or replacement of
snow tires from Toyota dealers or
legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and
attachment of snow tires affects
the operation of the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters.
